How are the prices? Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk No 27 is all I have seen. Headed to Taiwan and Japan today so should make for better options.

I have a couple of friends over that way that I'll be sending my list to. Thanks! Hardly any. Take a look on The Whiskey Exchange/Master of Malt for a good representation of what we have. And their 'respective' prices... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hop Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 If you have concerns about the corks coming loose in transit which can happen since that really isn't a wax - try a zip tie across the stopper under the horse's belly then wrap another around the neck of the bottle catching the ends of the other zip tie. Hard to visualize but I've seen it in a picture where someone brought it back from Europe and it traveled well. The zip tie over the stopper isn't "zipped" the other is and tight enough to hold the first one in place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've moved lots of bottles of blanton's between continents. I've had some wax dry out in transit, but never a leak. There don't look in the best condition, but just place each one in it's own zip lock and I don't think you have much to worry about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfly86 Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 I am currently sitting in the Hong Kong airport and the only thing good I have seen in the duty free shop is MMCS. It was not a deal at equivalent to 65 usd. I didn't see much else other than some rare looking scotch offerings. I was also in Beijing and Kuala Lumpur airports and found the case to be the same. Never made it out of those airports to see other options beyond that. I was hoping I may come across something unusual.

mfly86 Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 @mfly86 How was their selection of Asian single malts (Kavalan, Yamazaki)?I am not much of a single malt guy. I just remember seeing some bottles in the 100,000 to 1,000,000 HKD range. Who's at 7 to 1 exchange rate is still very steep.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Nice! The best airport selection I have found is Taipei. From my trip. I found all my whiskey in Taiwan. Minimal luck in Japan aside from WT8 and IW Harper 12.

zeppo55 Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Just got back from London today. Lots of Blantons Gold and SFTB and silver(to nervous to transport the silver home though). Lots of EC- 12 and BP. I found this in the city. The Duty free shop at Heathrow sucks. I saw nothing interesting there. They also have a dedicated whiskey shop there with the same bourbon as the Duty free shop. A whole aisle of JD and KC . Some JB but nothing unavailable in the states.
